Smiths at the top as usual. Xiu xiu was inspired by the new album being on myspace and me getting back into fabulous muscles. Fugazi is repeater. Safetyword is man's name is legion WHICH YOU SHOULD ALL LISTEN TO.

Sic Alps are superb! Psychedelic Horseshit is simply the best! I also enjoyed the two Better Beatles songs. Otherwise that's just listening to an album once. If you listen to albums last.fm charts are a load of old toss really :(

Royal Wood is quite good, and you can download some of his stuff for free. I'd recommend it for people who like piano-heavy, Rufus Wainwright sort of stuff (which I doubt is very many DiSers but...) http://www.last.fm/music/Royal+Wood

1 - ArnoCorps have 2 bassists as part of their 'heroic symmetry.' Both Predator and True Lies were on this week, awesome.
2 - After daniel called me a 'slacker' for not listening to enough Fieldy, I listened to the whole album on Sunday morning. Big LOLs.
3 - I discovered that Eagles of Death Metal are actually quite boring. :(
4 - got first ToD album, bit rough round the edges. It's good though.

1 Mobius Band

***annotations***:
1) the new album, called Heaven, is so
3) that's the squggle/prick album
5) she's like that "another diamond day" woman but german, recorded 30 years ago and released when J Mascis heard it. Lovely.
7 & 10) disappointing, MancOrchestra were meant to sound like Low but it's whiny as hell, and the Chris Clark one isn't a patch on the album before, still good though.
8) that's electronic me, am going to have to put some newer stuff out :)
10) listened purely cos everyone else was last week on your charts. It's, okay...
